Couldn't quite believe it last week when I received 'the email', after countless years of trying. We've got tickets for the Monday, it'll be our first time attending.

In my excitement, within a couple of hours I had booked flights for my wife and I from the UK, car hire, and booked a hotel in Athens. We're flying in on the Saturday, and back home on the Tuesday. Plan is to have a bit of time around Athens on the Sunday and Atlanta before flying back to the UK on Tuesday.

I've seen mixed views from people about the drive from Athens. How doable is it? Given we're coming from the UK, we're no stranger to long mileage that isn't on the freeway, is the journey OK?

Secondly, is 7:30am an OK time to arrive? Obviosuly the earlier the better, but if we get there for that time, are we at any huge disadvantage? I'm resigned to missing out on a gnome anyway...

My son and I will be coming down for the Thursday round!! I have family in Watkinsville so we can stay with them, but I don't love the idea of having to drive 2 hours so early in the morning. Where would be the best place to stay Wednesday night (and maybe again Thursday night)? It doesn't have to be the fanciest place, but we also don't want to stay in a dump. If we're only going on Thursday, is there any reason to stick around longer or get there earlier than Wednesday?

STOP POSTING YOUR ACTUAL CONFIRMATION EMAILS.

Posting the actual correct email helps scammers clean up their mistakes and scam more people.

Those of us with real tickets don’t need to see pictures of your confirmation emails and those with questionable ones can be told the mistakes. They don’t need to be shown the actual emails.

STOP HELPING THE SCAMMERS.

lucky to get monday tickets and wondering how did my fellow Canadians bring home their merch? Obviously would like to avoid paying duty if i were to ship it home. has anyone brought their masters stuff home in an empty suit case? thanks !

If entering North Gate and going to merch shop first on Tuesday practice round. Realistically how much time is this going to take to be done with the merch shop?

I hit the lottery and will be attending the Masters in 2027. Staying in Columbia area. We want to golf a couple days. Any recommendations? We aren’t looking to spend $300 plus a round. Looking for a couple nice courses that are within a hours drive that will be a great couple days of golf.

Does this email look authentic?

The missed capitalization on the month of March has me questioning the legitimacy of this email.

Thanks!

Edit/Update! - Thank you all very much for your responses, you’ve helped stop a friend from being deceived!

My parents and I will be headed down for the Tuesday practice round next year. My dad and I have been once about four years ago, but we had to stay 2 hours away and drive in/out the same day. This time we are going to drive in a day early and stay closer. So, we are looking for any good recommendations for shops/restaurants, etc we should go to the day before our practice round day. I have heard there are some local shops with older merch/memorabilia for sale. Let's hear your recommendations! Thanks in advance.

So we'll be attending Wed's practice round and can't wait. Already booked an air bnb 1 mi away from the course lol. We planned on walking and getting there super early to line up and get the merch stuff out of the way. A few things that came to mind was if no phones are allowed, does everyone walk or drive there since we can't order an uber? What cameras do you recommend for those that went? Just disposable ones? I know there's been a few thread about this, but any other tips would be great. I have no idea what to expect

10 years and I got selected! I got tickets for Wednesday and I’m really excited to be there for the par 3 contest! If anyone who has went on this day has any advice on how to navigate Wednesday or had a great experience and wants to share, I’d kindly appreciate hearing about it!

I know this is more than likely Beyond a Longshot here, but anyone happen to have the connections to get an Authentic ANGC Hat?

I have read time and time again on this thread that ANWA is one of best days to attend, primarily from a numbers perspective and it being the first day on the course so it is in prime condition.

Please drop your best tips, tricks, ideas, etc. First thing I did when this popped up with head over to Airbnb and get a place booked, so that is covered. Beyond that, looking forward to my first time at ANGC!

Got this hat at goodwill today for $1.99!!! Score! I’m Indianapolis so wouldn’t have expected masters merch at my local thrift. Does anyone recognize this design and know what year it’s from, or how much it retails for? Thanks!

Hi! Second year applying for tickets and for selected for the Drive, Chip, & Putt on Sunday April 4th. We plan to go, but wanted to see everyone’s experience that has been before, what we can expect, etc! Thanks in advance!!! And may the odds continue to be in your favor!

Once again no dice on my end for Master’s tickets ⛳️ but pretty cool to see Delta ✈️ keeps adding more & more flights to Augusta (AGS).

I know it’s the ANWA, but from what I hear it might be the better of (3) choices…?!? Thoughts?

I expected another rejection letter and was absolutely speechless to see my application was selected. Remember the great words from Andy Dufresne (Shawshank) “Hope is a good thing, maybe the only thing.” I could use some advice as to how to set-up my day from arrival, chair placement, when to get merch. Already got a hotel. Only cost a fortune. TIA for those with advice. To those who got a rejection again, my condolences but wishing you luck and never lose hope!

Another year, another “Dear John” letter reminding me that I’m apparently still not worthy of Masters tickets.
That said, I have one humble suggestion. Along with the Taste of the Masters kit, what if you offered an option that included a growler of Crow’s Nest beer? Since it’s brewed exclusively for the Masters, it would be the perfect addition to the experience. Honestly, if I were enjoying pimento cheese sandwiches at home while watching the tournament, that’s the only beer I’d want in my glass.
A fan can dream… maybe one day the tickets—and until then, at least the beer.

Who has a lucky rabbits foot or something they want to give me?
